The situation happened in a Rec league game goverened by NFHS rules. Team A was in the bonus. The scoreboard indicated Team A was in the bonus. The Lead Official called a foul on Team B, and the scorekeeper (a volunteer) did not provide any assitance to the official that Team A was in the bonus.
Neither Team's coach, or players, or the other official recognized Team A should be shooting the bonus. The Ball was put back into play and it was noticed about 10 seconds later that Team A should have been awarded the free throw. The Ref blew the whistle to stop play when the scorekeeper got his attention.
What's the correct ruling? 1. Should the ref continue play from that point awarding the ball to Team A?
2. Should the bonus be awarded to Team A?

You have a correctable error, "failure to award a merited free throw or throws". If I read your sitch right A still had the ball so there is no change of team possession and they should be put on the line to shoot the free throws, with no time put back on the clock.

NFHS (Page 17 & 18 of rulebook)

Rule 2 Section 10
Art 1
Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in:
a. Failure to award a merited free throw.
b. Awarding an unmerited free throw
c. Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw
d. Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket
e. Erroneously counting or canceling a score.

Art. 2
In order to correct any of the officials' errors listed in Article 1 (as noted above), such error must be recognized by an official during the first dead ball after the clock has properly been started.

Art. 3
If in article 1e the error is made while the clock is running and the dead ball, it must be recognized by an official before the second live ball.

Art. 4
If the error is a free throw by the wrong player or at the wrong basket, or the awarding of an unmerited free throw, the free throw and the activity during it, other than unsporting, flagrant, intentional, or technical fouls, shall be canceled.

Art.5
Points scored, consumed time and additional activity, which may occur prior to the recognition of the error, shall not be nullified. Errors because of free-throw attempts by the wrong player or at the wrong basket shall be corrected by applying 8-1 and 2.

Art. 6
If an error is corrected, play shall be resumed for the point at which it was interrupted to rectify the error, unless it involves awarding a merited free throw(s) and there has been no change of team possession since the error was made, in which case play shall resume as after any free throw attempt(s).
